I know. I argued that it should be off by default in FPC too --
in Delphi mode because of compatibility,
It depends on which Delphi you want to be compatible with. In general,
FPC aims for compatibility with Delphi 7, and at least in Kylix 3 (~
Delphi 6.5) the default is {$j+}
in FPC mode because it is sane.
And would break backwards compatibility.
You can try, but I'm afraid it'll stay open for quite a long time
if no one
also submits a patch.
Of course, this is open source ;-)
Main goal of the present discussion for me is to get sure the request
will not be closed as "won't fix".
I don't think there is a way to be sure of that, but it seems unlikely
to me that it will be closed immediately if you phrase it purely as a
feature request.
